Mark, do you know I migrated to Canada only 8 years ago at a not so young age and 3 teen-then children. But I learned quickly that work here is brutal, with the employer telling you first, you have to be part time or contractual, then sometimes not extending your contract. But I have survived, skilled and upgraded, and now productively working. I see the young people struggling and on top of student loans and a poor market, I can only imagine how challenging it will be for them.

I also like the heart of granite, we do learn the ways of surviving ~

Happy to read you have been or grew up near Ottawa, its a lovely place.

Grace at one time I considered Ottawa to be the cleanest city in North America.

8 years ago coming to this continent was just about the right time. That was when employers became visionary and knew they were holding the upper hand, through the mass enslavement of debt. Then the markets crashed and they started to pull every trigger aimed at an employees head.

Personally I think we only survive because there are more of us to reach out a hand than there are of them trying to cut that hand off.

Why is it that the days pass faster? Could it be that after a time we have, indeed, seen it all and it no longer holds us spellbound in timeless fascination? 'Twere that the case, doesn't it seem that the days would drag on like they do when bored? Hearts of stone grow out of familiarity for, after all, familiarity breeds contempt.

Pearl I am too old now to try to be diplomatic in my words, I have learned that people love an accident scene until it's their wreck. I am generally of a mind to point out that this wrecked world is our wreck. It belongs even to them that caused it but are not yet harmed by it.

Rosaria--always always coffee first. The day should begin with a small pleasure for you never know what comes up with the sun.

I do believe that we, the common, are despised and found to be fairly useless to the oligarchs but at the same time if we are smart we will be shields for each other from the harshest of realities pitfalls.

Syd that is the secret of good husbandry "yes Dear" being the only response necessary.

I have eaten plenty of shit in my life but once I left home for good i never took the first bite. That new habit of being expensed out of a job is the curse of the white collar class, the rest of us just get worked to uselessness.

Takon to the first part then I say the idea has gotten through and will be spread. To your question my answer is how much are you willing to lose if you stand up and fight for your rights to be human and treated with dignity? It was our believing in lies that fooled us into allowing society to step off on this path.
